I dont think its offensiveat all breasted or no so brested like my self shoul be able to feed any were now one segestion i do have always cary a small sheet just to cover your brest because some perverts or idiots might be staring and make u uncumftable.

my question was a response to the ones who say we need to feed in private. so i asked if the few who are stuck in the past would mind seeing a stipper or model nurse in public. i also nursed in public ,and ther are times when it is difficult to completely cover up,but we do our best.it;s when ignorant people approach us or make us defend our right to nurse or make a scene and upsets ourself and our children.please read my hubs and answer to the original question,is it offensive to nurse in public.

No not at all. It is not offensive for anyone to breast feed in public. It is a woman's right to do that. I think no one should have problem with this and if the woman is big breasted or very hot, God has made her like this so why this specific category for them.

Any nursing mother has a right to breast feed her baby. She should of course be discreet about it! Breast feeding is natural and there is nothing wrong with it, showing yourself off sexually while doing it is exhibitionism, and wrong. If a person does not care to see a woman breast feed her baby then that person can simply, NOT LOOK!

It should not be offensive for any mother to breastfeed her baby in public; however, I believe one should be discreet. It is so easy. A receiving blanket over the shoulder and you can nurse your baby while keeping your modesty. Breast size and "hotness" are irrelevant to a mother nursing her baby.

I don't know, wouldn't it be more offensive for ugly, flat-chested women to nurse in public? Offensive to who? How is it offensive for someone to give nourishment to an infant? If anyone is offended by that then they may as well resign as a member of the human race, and animal kingdom as a whole for that matter.

i agree that breastfeeding mums (like me) shouldnt have a problem feeding in public to sit in a public bathroom not exactly the most comfortable place to breastfeed (and often quite smelly...)when you breastfeed u have to relak and b comfortable you have the right to do it wherever you are regardless the size of your breast btw i also always have with me a large bib that is specially made for breastfeeding mommies...BUT i recently went to a lingerie shop, while i went to try on a few bras a lady came in sat zipped one boob out and sat herself on the chair and started feeding just like that we were all in shock c'mon where's her dignity??? or last summer in switserland while walking in a very packed place lots of touristsa woman was feeding her baby while walking and again you could see everything and the path was very narrow so you couldn't not see ...

so no it's not offensive for anyone to breastfeed in public but have some dignity and selfrespect then people will respect you!!

It shouldn't matter what the mother does for a living, or that she has large or small breasts, if you need to feed your baby, you need to feed them end of. From my own experience, you can't always feed in a discreet place, but can make it discreet by covering with muslin or shawl....i just don't understand how on earth can be offended as its the most natural thing on earth, and maybe if people were a bit more open minded rather than just seeing "the breast" more mothers would breastfeed.

It's not offensive for ANYONE to nurse in public, big breasts or not. The fact is, we have the freedom to breastfeed and the size of the breasts (as well as the mother's occupation, supposed or otherwise) shouldn't matter in the least. No matter what, breastfeeding should not be considered offensive or sexually stimulating in the least, meaning that others shouldn't feel offended and gasp at the sight, and still others should not look at it in a perverse way, as if it is some type of invitation for a passerby to replace the baby... THAT'S the only unsettling thing. But that's not the mother's fault. Come on, let's see it for what it is - a beautiful, natural, healthy thing.

A healthy boy is proud of his good health. Why a health girl does is shy of her big breast to nurse her baby? It is because of the outlook of our society. When we are saying men and women are equal in every respect, then why did it not in the sight of public?

Heck know, that is what God invented them for, remember if it was not for Eve brestfeeding her children we would not be here haveing this kind of disscussion right know It is just out of jealoucy, and fear people do not want Women to brest feed in public, remember if we want women to keep their babies instead of abortring them we have to give the mothers who choose to keep the babie to feed her child when it needs to be fed. Remember the people who are against brestfeeding in publick, are also the same people who bail, or have hade been bailed out on, when they hear that catch phrase. Honey I am Pregnent, they hit the doors running, or their man hit the doors running. When I was still in grade school, and after my sister was married for a cuple of years she got Pregnent and had her baby, she chose to brest feed. When she came over to our house, she would put a cloth over the babies head, but I think she did not want her brothers to see her brest. I asked her why did she cover the babies head, when she fed her, she told me she was just being polite. I told her Oh, it isn't like when you undid the front of your bra to take it out to feed her I did not see it, so why cover it know. My sister told my mom about thisand my mom told her I was right, after that she would not cover the babies head. Oh yeah my sister before she had the baby had a 40 D cup after that she had a 38 DD bra. So this is something I am fimilier with, remember just think of this, this is the price we have to look at beautiful brest doing their job, and a working tit at work, this is what God intended it for not all the Men out there like I who like th suck them to.
